And when you feel complete,

Very slowly and gradually,

You may open your eyes.

Happy Janmashtami.

Today is Krishna's birthday.

What does Krishna mean?

Love.

Krishna means love.

What is the meaning of Radha?

Longing.

You reverse Radha,

What does it become?

Dhar.

What is a Dhar?

Flow.

It's a flow towards the ocean.

Radha is longing.

Longing for what?

Longing for love.

All of us want that only in life.

Whatever you are running behind,

Whether it is money,

Kids,

House,

Career,

Whatever it is,

It is all for one thing.

Love.

Recognize this.

That there is only one thirst.

There is no other thirst.

Whatever you are looking for in this world is just love.

And today is the birthday of love.

So happy Janmashtami.

All day celebrate love today.

Come what may.

Today I will not let hatred,

Jealousy,

Anger get in the way.

Can you commit to yourself?

Just for one day.

Only Sunday.

All day I promise myself I will only be in love.

Doesn't matter what the other person wants to do or wants to say or wants to,

Whatever negativity he wants to be.

I will be in love.

See how is the state of your mind right now?

You are very calm,

Relaxed,

Quiet.

What is this state?

Your sattva is very high.

Sattva means,

Everybody knows sattva?

Sattva is very high.

High awareness and very calm,

Relaxed.

This is the state of ether.

Or the same thing,

State of Krishna,

State of love.

Only in this state can you attain the highest truth.

It is not possible in agitation,

Anger,

Negativities to attain the highest truth.

So maintain this state.

This state of ether is also the same as love.

Love is not just what you feel as a mother or as a husband or a wife or as your kid towards your parent.

These are just reflections in the mirror.

Love is existence.

Everything is love.

The sun is shining because of love.

Do birds chirp?

Rita should listen to me and say wow what a beautiful song.

Is that why the bird sings?

The bird sings.

Are you seeing this?

The flower blossoms.

Does it blossom so that Sudhir can say,

Oh Rose you are looking so pretty?

It's not looking for appreciation.

Are you seeing this?

It is out of love.

It is its nature.

The same way our nature is also the same.

We are not different from animals or plants.

Or even the sun and the moon and the stars.

So be in your own nature today.

In love.

It's called the Krishna consciousness.

Celebrate the birth of love.

In another way it is your birthday only.

You are nothing but love.

So today one day let me just be in love in my nature.

Happy.

Come what may nobody can take my smile away.

Can we do that?

Everybody.

I am going to call you up and ask you,

Did you stick to your homework?
